At this moment, Li Qing'an continued speaking to Fenxiang Valley.
"Your actions have caused me great harm, and I need to recuperate!"
"So, is the compensation you're giving me today reasonable?"
Anyway, since he couldn't kill them now, he figured he'd take some good stuff first.
After Li Qing'an finished speaking, seeing that Fenxiang Valley had not responded for a long time, he accidentally made a hand seal again, allowing everyone to see the scene inside the formation.
Inside the formation, Yun Yilan and Li Xun looked haggard, their robes stained with blood.
Clearly, what Li Qingan said was true.
"Oh, by the way, with the great calamity approaching, Valley Master Yun's injuries will likely require rest and recuperation; the longer it's delayed, the worse it will become."
"I believe that you are all people with broad vision, and you should take it upon yourselves to fight against demons and save the common people!"
"I won't let personal grudges get me down right now!"
The people of Burning Incense Valley, seeing that their Valley Master had suffered such injuries, were unwilling to agree to Li Qing'an's conditions.
He had no choice but to turn and look at Dao Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Dao Xuan also happened to turn his head away and seemed not to have noticed this place.
Shangguan Ce knew perfectly well that Dao Xuan simply didn't want to get involved!
Allowing Li Qing'an to undermine the friendship between the two factions and disrupt the harmony of the righteous path...
Dao Xuan deserves to die!
Li Qingan deserves to die too!
Li Xun is an idiot too!
Shangguan Ce mentally tried to label Li Qing'an and the others, but dared not utter a word.
Seeing that Li Qing'an was still unwilling to budge, he could only turn to Lü Shun for a discussion.
A few breaths later, Shangguan Ce had no choice but to agree to Li Qing'an's conditions on behalf of Fenxiang Valley.
Li Qingan received a receipt from Shangguan Ce.
This is the IOU that Li Qingan made them sign.
The inscription reads: "In the spring and summer of a certain year, Fenxiang Valley owed Li Qing'an of Qingyun Sect a piece of millennium-old Xuanhuo Iron."
Below are the signatures of Shangguan Ce, Lü Shun, and others from Fenxiang Valley.
Li Qingan smiled and casually slipped the IOU into his pocket in front of everyone.
His intention was simply to have Yun Yilan fight with Shangguan Ce after returning, and incidentally humiliate them as well.
Even the Thousand-Year Mystic Fire Iron, Li Qing'an felt that Fenxiang Valley wouldn't give it to him.
However, they would agree publicly.
After all, the Xuanhuo Iron is currently in the Southern Frontier, and the Southern Frontier is not peaceful right now.
They might even be hoping Li Qing'an goes to Fenxiang Valley, and they might try to sow discord between him and the Beast God.
The two fought to the death when they met, and Fenxiang Valley took the opportunity to profit from the situation.
Li Qing'an had already come up with all these scenarios for the people of Fenxiang Valley!
I just don't know if they will actually do it this way.
As Li Qing'an pondered, he deactivated the Five Elements Formation.
Only then did everyone notice the devastation within the area covered by the formation.
The gravel and pits were everywhere, and there were still traces of sword intent.
"Valley Master!"
Shangguan Ce quickly stepped forward to help Yun Yilan up.
He carefully examined Yun Yilan and found that her injuries were indeed extremely serious.
Unconsciously, he gained a deeper understanding of Li Qingan's strength.
"Junior brother!"
Yun Yilan barely maintained his composure and called out softly.
Yun Yilan first looked in Li Qing'an's direction, then looked at Dao Xuan, her eyes filled with an unreadable expression.
Faced with the pitiful state of Yun Yilan, Dao Xuan suddenly felt a sense of shared suffering, and his tone became much kinder.
"Valley Master Yun, regarding this matter..."
"Master Dao Xuan, there's no need to say more about this. I only hope that Qingyun Sect can raise its banner high, gather righteous heroes, and resist those demons."
Yun Yilan spoke with great righteousness.
As he spoke, he coughed up some blood, which was truly shocking.
This made some of the Qingyun Sect disciples present feel that Yun Yilan truly lived up to his reputation as a benevolent and righteous man.
They all felt that Li Qingan had gone too far, and felt a little apologetic towards the people of Fenxiang Valley.
Dao Xuan also said with a righteous expression, "Valley Master Yun, rest assured, Qingyun will never tolerate demons causing chaos in the world. This time, with the full cooperation of your sect and Tianyin Temple, we will surely be able to eliminate those demons."
As they talked, for some reason, they looked at each other and smiled.
They seemed very friendly.
Of course, if one ignored the surrounding scene, the wounds on Yun Yilan's body, and the anger in the eyes of the Burning Incense Valley disciples, one might genuinely believe that the two factions were extremely friendly.
Another hour later.
With some excellent healing medicines given to him by Dao Xuan, as well as a bottle of rhubarb pills, Yun Yilan left Qingyun Sect.
When they left, they did so without stopping, their eyes fixed on the ground, forging ahead with unwavering determination!
Even when Li Qing'an tried to persuade Li Xun to stay the night so that he could compete with Zeng Shushu again the next day, he refused.
I just declined, saying I'll definitely do it next time, definitely next time.
The people from Burning Incense Valley left.
The disciples of Qingyun Sect all looked at Li Qing'an and Lu Xueqi.
The two of them finally made it clear.
Wedding banquet! Wedding banquet!
Li Qingan didn't notice that his gaze was fixed on Dao Xuan, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Now there are no outsiders!
Chapter 253 Gui Li Visits Tianyin Temple!
The next day.
The vast land of China stretches to the north, with mountain ranges extending for over a hundred miles, their main peaks soaring into the clouds and shrouded in mist year-round.
This is Mount Sumeru, where Tianyin Temple is located.
The mountain is steep and requires a narrow mountain path to reach the foot of the main peak.
The Great Heavenly Sound Temple was built at the foot of the mountain.
This is the place where the monks of Tianyin Temple receive pilgrims.
The building is adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, and many young monks walk around here, chanting scriptures and reciting Buddhist prayers!
At the top of the mountain is Xiaotianyin Temple, which serves as the core area for spiritual practice.
The famous blank jade disc of Tianyin Temple is located on the back mountain.
On the main peak of Mount Sumeru, a figure in black kept moving around.
The monk on duty only felt a gentle breeze, but found nothing.
The distant, melodious tolling of bells drifted softly through the air.
"Thump...thump...thump..."
Gui Li stood on the mountainside, with the Great Tianyin Temple behind him, where mortals burned incense and prayed for blessings, and the Small Tianyin Temple in front of him, a place for eminent monks such as Pu Hong to meditate.
Perhaps due to the frequent conflict between good and evil, even outside of the first and fifteenth of the lunar month, many people come here to burn incense and pray for peace and prosperity.
Gui Li's expression shifted constantly, sometimes showing sadness, sometimes resentment.
Seeing these monks constantly reminded him of the temple in Caomiao Village.
That night, with thunderclaps and torrential rain...
And the piles of corpses strewn with wreckage, those familiar faces...
A tangled web of gratitude and resentment, is it kindness or enmity?
Gui Li felt his mind surging, and his aura involuntarily began to emanate.
"who is it?"
Faxiang was about to visit Puhong. He set off from the Mahavira Hall at the foot of the mountain, passed through the stone steps, and happened to arrive in this vicinity. Suddenly, he sensed an unfamiliar aura that did not belong to Buddhism.
Although pilgrims often accidentally wander in, the presence of guarding monks prevents ordinary people from ever reaching this place.
The Dharma Body leaped several times, heading towards the direction of that aura.
Gui Li had already regained his senses, his expression complex and difficult to decipher.
Upon hearing the Dharma Image's voice, Gui Li did not hide.
His original intention was to meet people, not to fight.
He remembered that Li Qingan had told him some time ago that Tianyin Temple might have information he wanted to know.
In addition, he needed the celestial book contained within the blank jade disc.
Not long after, footsteps could be heard.
When Faxiang arrived at this place, he saw Guili's black robe from afar, as well as that face that made the entire Tianyin Temple feel guilty.
